Double strollers...

I have started looking at double strollers since Joel will be 27 months when the baby is due so I'm sure well use it (I am dependent on my stroller...lol). Anybody have an experience? Favorites? We have a graco snugride carseat (bucket) so I have been looking at the duogliders but they don't seem as well built as the stroller that came with our travel system. Just thought I'd put it ou there.

I think it depends on what you want to spend on a stroller. When I watched twins I got a graco duoglide. I am not real familiar with the new ones but the older ones were great. I could even get it into the trunk of my Honda Civic. You probably can even find one on Craigslist or at a consignment store for a great price. The other one I would recommend is a lot pricier and it is a sit and stand stroller. The Ultralite Joovy Caboose is awesome. The regular one is kind of heavy but the lite one is great. My good friend has one and I love it. http://www.joovy.com/pages/pd_cabooseultralight.php I think you can get a universal part that will work with the car seat.

This is not the exact on I have but it seems they don't make my color any more. I just saw it at BRU, but I guess it's gone. Mine is red and brown but I think this is the same just different color. Color doesn't really matter, didn't love mine anyway. I just know Graco make a coulpe different and I didn't like the cheapers one. This one is like $280 but it is a one hand fold up. You just hold in a button thing on the handle and it folds up. It doesn't take up much more room that the single. There is a bar that comes with it if you would rather have a bar in the front. I didn't want a side by side because they don't find through all the doors. I love this one. I really wanted one where the seats turn around so they could face each other or out but those you have to take off the seat to fold it up. I didn't like that idea. The person I talked to at BRU really knew alot. But he said to go with the cheaper Graco (it wasn't much cheaper) if I wasn't planning on walking or running everyday. But I am really glad I didn't listen to that because the fold up and easier stearing was worth it to me.

Our neighbors just had another baby so their LO's are only 13 months apart. Â They got the double baby jogger city mini with an attachment for the bucket seat for the newborn. Â They seem to really like it. Â I use the single city mini and love it. Â One positive is it has the one handed "easy" fold which might come in handy when you are juggling two. Â I'm not sure how much the double is but I know it's not on the cheaper side.

I went through the same thing as mine are only 16 months apart. I got the Phil & Teds classic with double attachment. If you are having your newborn in winter I recommend the cocoon which fits into the stroller and is great for visiting people but also warm and cosy for your newborn when its in the stroller. I have found it great as it is the same width as a single stroller, more compact in the boot than my single pram. The toddler sits in the extra seat on the front and then when the newborn gets bigger (4-6 months) the extra seat goes in the back. They are quite expensive though so I bought mine second hand off e-bay for a quarter of the price. The only negative aspect for me is there is not much storage.

If you are only getting one double I HIGHLY suggest getting a tandem. The side-side are way to wide to manuver at stores, etc. I have the Kolcraft Contours Tandem & love it so far. It is heavy & a bit bulky, but once it is out, it is great! I also have a Schwinn double jogger that is great, but we are just using that for around town b/c it is so wide.

I'm due at the end of February (kiddos will be 25 months apart) and just bought a Baby Jogger City Select. It converts from a single to a double stroller, with attachments for bassinets, carseat adaptor and a glider board for the back for a older or third child. So far I absolutely LOVE it, and any other parent I've talked to that has one says the same thing...amazing!

There are demo videos on the baby jogger website, check it out!
